Connecticut Democrats on Monday renewed calls for reinstating highway tolls, reigniting a long-running debate over how the state should pay for transportation improvements.

State Rep. Tony Guerrera, the House chairman of the transportation committee, said he would propose legislation instructing the Department of Transportation to draft a statewide plan to bring tolls back to Connecticut.
